This Corner Plot Semi Gives You Stylish Interiors, Room To Extend And Heating That Pays For Itself. Start your next chapter with this smart Stainburn family home that has “free” biomass heating, a versatile layout and scope for a 2-storey side extension.
If you’re looking for a first home or more room for your growing family, this is one of those homes that ticks more boxes than you might expect. It’s stylish inside, practical and economical in all the right places, and packed with clever potential outside.
Set on a generous corner plot, this 3-bed semi is full of surprises – from the cosy lounge with bifold doors opening into the kitchen-diner, to the handy utility tucked neatly behind the converted garage. It’s stylish, practical, and perfectly suited to first-time buyers or young families wanting more than the usual tiny new-build starter home.
The lounge is a warm and welcoming space – made even cosier by the modern electric fire set beneath a rustic wooden mantel. It’s the kind of room that makes you want to curl up with a film, a book, or just a decent brew. And thanks to the bifold doors leading into the kitchen diner, it still feels light, open and connected to the rest of the home.
The kitchen is a proper showpiece – long, bright, and big enough for a breakfast bar and a dining table. There’s a Belfast sink, shaker-style units and plenty of room to cook while chatting to friends at the table. And with French doors opening to the garden, it’s the perfect setup for easy summer dining and weekend BBQs.”
Upstairs are three bedrooms – two doubles and a third that works perfectly as a bedroom, nursery or home office – along with a family bathroom that’s been given a stylish modern makeover.
The converted garage now provides a generous utility space – so there’s room for all the washing, drying, and storage that modern life needs. You won’t mind losing the chance to park the car inside as the other half of the garage houses the biomass boiler – an energy-saving feature that makes a big impact on the bills. It costs roughly £1,000 per year to run, but with Renewable Heat Incentive payments of around the same amount, you’ll effectively get your heating and hot water for free.
And then there’s the future potential. It previously had planning permission granted for a 2-storey extension. That permission has now lapsed but if you do need more space later, having the go-ahead in the past will give your new application a great chance of success.
There’s off-street parking for 2–3 cars (so you won’t miss the garage) and a private back garden with a paved seating area and lawn.
Stainburn village is really popular as it’s on the edge of the countryside but it’s still only 5 minutes drive to the town centre when you do need to hit the shops.
Located a couple of miles east of the town centre, if you have kids the school run will be mercifully short.
The Ashfield Schools (for younger kids) and Workington Academy are all less than 10 minutes drive away.
This is everything you could want from a stylish first home or family-friendly next move – with a few thoughtful extras you didn’t expect.
I’m expecting plenty of interest so call today to arrange a viewing.
